The Chicago Police Department announced that Hartman had been discovered and arrested at approximately 2:30 p.m.at an O’Hare International Airport bus shuttle center. Police say she’s in custody and scheduled to appear later today in bond court.
In July 2015 she attempted to board a plane at Chicago’s Midway Field without a ticket, a day after she was released from jail for a similar offense, and in 2014 was arrested after flying from San Jose, Calif., to Los Angeles without a ticket.
Hartman is now charged with felony probation violation and misdemeanour criminal trespass.
She had been released on probation to a nursing home in Chicago in December, and ordered to avoid airports and Chicago’s railroad station. This time the arrest occurred at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Wednesday afternoon.
“I prefer never to see you again”. She also said she once flew from Minneapolis to Florida without a ticket. San Mateo County authorities ordered Hartman, who was homeless, to a residential mental health program instead of jail in order to afford her a place to live and a way to access services, but she left there within a week.
Hartman said she hoped to use her newfound freedom to make frequent use of a nearby library, or perhaps take computer training courses at Truman College.
According to The Daily Mail, Marilyn Hartman has made at least 13 failed attempts to board flights without a ticket.
